The strobe correlation process performed by the ICC is also known as?

• A. Triangulation
• B. Cross-correlation
• C. Synchronization
• D. Filtering

Answer: (A)

Triangulation is used to determine a position by using signals from multiple known points. The strobe correlation process performed by the ICC uses strobes from several observation points to form lines of bearing toward the target, and the point where those lines intersect identifies the target’s location. This geometric approach is triangulation. Cross-correlation compares signals to estimate time delays rather than to locate a source, while synchronization and filtering deal with timing alignment and signal cleanliness, not position fixing.
